John Goodman, 73, once weighed nearly 200 kilos. He smoked, drank excessively, and spent hours in front of the television between shoots. In 2007, after entering rehab for an addiction, he decided that his body also needed a radical change. 🎬
With the help of his trainer Mackie Shilstone—the same one who trained Serena Williams—he put together a plan: six days of training per week, an elliptical bike, a heavy bag, and between 10,000 and 12,000 steps a day. He gave up sugar, gave up alcohol, and adopted the Mediterranean diet as a foundation.
The result took 18 years to achieve, with progress and relapses included: 45 kilos less by 2010, and nearly 100 kilos less today. At the 2025 premiere of ‘The Smurfs’ in Los Angeles, wearing a blue suit and voicing Papa Smurf, he appeared as a completely different man. ✨
